The vast majority of GPLv2 software has the "or later" clause. I would
put GPLv3 in the Popular category, but not remove GPLv2. Clearly, GPLv2
is still objectively, and it is clear that GPLv3 already has a "strong
community" behind it and is growing in popularity very quickly (compared
to most licenses OSI considers, at least).
